style of music
Aestheticism and romance
The beautiful and romantic feelings are displayed with charming piano timbre, which creates these perfect piano creation albums, and also creates the young modern piano poet Zhang Yiyi.
Full of artistic conception
For pure music, the expression of artistic conception is much more difficult than songs, because music without lyrics is so abstract. However, the author well used the composing skills, although only simple piano notes, but incisively and vividly expressed the infinite thoughts of the author's heart.
Fashionable and fresh
As a post-80s composer, Zhang Yiyi's music style is obviously different from the works of old composers. What he wants to express is the fashion characteristics of this era. And he uses his works to prove that fashion doesn't have to use all kinds of electronic elements, and doesn't need too many musical instruments to support it. A piano is enough.
